Does rihanna have a new single every other week or what? Almost every time my little sister is at home, I hear that annoying voice singing from behind the door (if I'm lucky) or just like that (mostly) and just as I finish learning the a song against my will, on the next day a fucking new song starts disturbing me.

"My Heart's A Stereo" or whatever is the single most irritating song I've heard in a long time (or since I heard that stupid "Dynamite" song a year ago). Though I prefer it tenfold to the awful misogynist rubbish on the last page. WHY GOD WHY!

I like a couple of Everclear's singles, mainly because I remember hearing them on our Top 40 station when I was in elementary school. The reason behind them making another album covering their own songs makes no sense. I have to disagree with you on the new Jane's Addiction record. I thought it was terrible. More so than Strays, they seem to try too hard to sound relevant and it doesn't work on any level.

To me the worst trend of this year is 70s and 80s throwback retro-metal: all this thrash and doom metal that recycles tired old tropes about wizards and goblins, rips off Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, and basically wants to jump aboard the Mastodon bandwagon. Between that and deathcore, metal is in a pitiful state right now.

Even church is hopping on the bandwagon? What is so great about the dubstep genre that it's popular now even though it's been around since the 90's? It's not that great of a genre. I only like dub remixes from a select few artists, if even that qualifies.

Carlos Santana was hanging out with Justin Beiber last night. I couldn't bear to watch whatever those 2 did. Carlos sold out. It was bad enough he decided to make music for pop audiences but now hanging out with Bieber. Just kill the guy.

They were covering Let it Be by The Beatles. It was a fucking abomination.

I have to say that whole new years eve show with Lady Gaga and Bieber, Santana, Minaj etc. really was sad.But it was mindless music by mindless artists for people of the masses that are mindless as well.

BTW, did anyone see the last episode of Metal Evolution on Grunge? It started off in an all right way though I knew they were going to actually say something about the post-grunge thing. It fell apart once they did interviews with Crud and then fucking Chad Kroeger which saddens me about the state of rock and why I detest the term "grunge" more than ever because of the association with those bands. I don't think grunge is metal. Alice in Chains and Soundgarden might have a bit of metal in their music but I consider them more hard rock. Someone told me that anyone who likes Nickelturd has no taste. That person is right.

I watched it, too. I agree that grunge isn't metal, but I can see the associations. One guy said Nirvana was part metal, which I couldn't agree with any less. The next episode covers the Nu Metal movement, and the commercial prominently featured Limp Bizkit, but I heard from someone who's seen it already that the director/host has some choice and agreeable words for some of those bands.
